The Slaven Bilic is in the frame, with sensational West Ham returning and putting pressure on Graham Potter. The current Hammer boss was appointed only in January and endured the first few months of his responsibilities.<\/p>\n
However, the season has a worse start, winning just one of the openings of five games in all competitions, including a fierce defeat to Sunderland, Chelsea and Tottenham.<\/p>\n
West Ham’s bosses issued a terrible statement Wednesday night, acknowledging that they were not satisfied with the direction they are now. They have become muroon themselves in the Premier League relegation zone, and have been recognized 11 times in just four games.<\/p>\n
And it is reportedly that if Potter gets x in the next few days, a plan is in place. Talksport claims former manager and player Bilic is on the list of three candidates that could replace Potter at London Stadium.<\/p>\n
Billick, 57, spent more than a year as a player in East London before becoming a fan favorite in the dugout. Hired in 2015, he led Hammer to seventh in his first season before he was eventually fired in November 2017.<\/p>\n

Since leaving, he has had some failed spells both in England and abroad, and recently along with Al Fate of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
With Bilic. Nuno Espirito Santo and Sean Dish are said to be under consideration if West Ham’s brooding start continues.<\/p>\n
Nuno lost his job for several days after a dramatic ejection from Nottingham Forest. The former female boss was plundered by the forest despite leading her to Europe.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dish has been away from the touchline since leaving Everton, and by chance Potter arrives at West Ham.<\/p>\n
Potter’s appointment was considered a somewhat coup at the beginning of the year, and after the 50-year-old left Chelsea it took him a while to choose his next job.<\/p>\n
He arrives following Julen Lopetegui’s miserable spell, but fails to truly arrest Slump. And after spending \u00a3115 million in the summer, a brighter start was expected.<\/p>\n
West Ham’s Top Brass revealed it with such words.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one at the club is happy with it, and the board has spent a lot of time looking at decisions made throughout the football business to inform us of improved strategies going forward.<\/p>\n
“Our focus is solid in the future and we will build teams that can compete consistently in domestic competitions and in Europe. We have a strong platform to continue our quest.<\/p>\n
The following week, he hopes to record his first home victory of the season before his trip to Everton.<\/p>\n
